Twelve rides into his career and still waiting for that first winner — Mr James Hills is about as new to this game as it gets. His first recorded result came in July 2025, meaning he has been riding professionally for just a matter of months, and his record of zero wins from 12 races reflects exactly where he is: a young jockey learning the ropes at the sharp end.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's jockey breakdown
The "(7)" next to his name is worth explaining. It is a weight allowance — a small advantage given to inexperienced riders to help them compete while they find their feet. It is the sport's way of acknowledging that riding a racehorse at full tilt, in traffic, under pressure, is a skill that takes time to develop. Every top jockey started with that same allowance, and most of them had a few blank runs before the winners started coming.
Twelve rides is a small sample. Nothing about this record suggests a ceiling — it simply suggests a beginning.
